Automation of Quests (Including Slaves)

[Falkor]

This could quite possible be one of my most legendary macro compliations / discoverys!

What will this macro do?
Allow you to autoaccept all quests over all slaves
Allow you to complete all quests over all slaves
Allow you to automatically take quest rewards over all slaves
*Includes escort quests!

Part 1 - Setup an Action Keybind.

/script SetBinding("L", "TURNORACTION")
/script SaveBindings(1)

Change the L to a key of your choice.

Part 2 - The Macro.

/script SelectGossipAvailableQuest(1)
/script SelectGossipActiveQuest(1)
/script CompleteQuest()
/script GetQuestReward(1)
/script SelectGossipOption(1)
/script AcceptQuest()

The first line selects the first available quest.
The second line selects the first active quest, which will supercede the first available if you currently have a quest.
The third line allows you to complete a quest you currently have.
The fourth line selects your reward.
The fith line is to select the gossip option that is not part of a quest. (Used to confirm you are ready to escort after taking a quest)
The sixth and final line will accept a quest that you do not have.

NOTE: You will need to make sure your slave charactors are in FIRST PERSON VIEW
If you wish you can use this macro to set your view to first person on all charactors for the duration of your logged in session:

/script SetView(1);

Please post any questions or problems you have and I will be happy to try and help. :thumbsup:

Hey Falkor,

Couldn't we use

/script SetView(1);SetView(1)
/script SetBinding("L", "TURNORACTION")
/script SaveBindings(1)

to snap to 1st person view (the double SetView does a fast view change instead of the gradual one)

with an optional

/script SetView(2)

or whatever at the end to restore view to 3rd person?

I would like to point out that ZQB is probably a better solution for selecting the rewards from a quest.

Zanthor's addon copies the choices of the partyleader for dialog boxes like quests etc.

all it needs is the automated method for starting interaction with the NPC :)

[Falkor]

Some nice extra info there djarid i didnt know you could do a quick view change :P

What I'm working on at the moment is putting this research into a seemless macro so it does the whole lot for you 1click.
Yes it proberly is best to use a addon for the quest rewards but for a simple complete quest and take the only 1 reward like say a bag of marbles this macro works perfect with no fuss.

Want me to wiki this once we have cleared up any issues and finalised it?

[Djarid]

te yes please mate :)

I can't see this working, for example I right click on the NPC with teh quest, it then opens up the window for the quest, but the problem is that it seems like in order for this to work, your slaves have to first have that same window opened, where is teh step that opens up the window with all of your slaves?

[ratsrepus]

I believe you get the quest with your main and then share it with the group. That prompts the slaves with a quest box and you can then hit the "L" key to accept.

Not sure how you get slaves to finish or complete a quest without talking to the npc on each.

[Djarid]

Guys, I think you have missed the point of this.

Pressing L is the same as pressing the right mouse button.

When you do not have focus the wow window remembers the last place the cursor was, so if you are in 1st person mode, the NPC in front of you is a much bigger target for the L (right mouse) to hit.

Is anyone using this successfully with multiple toons? I have to admit, I've not tried it yet but I modified my follow macros yesterday to force the view into first person and for two of my followers, all they could see was the heads of the other two. I couldn't manually mine/skin/talk to NPCs so I doubt the keybind version of right-click would work either. Will I have to use my formation keys to get some distance between my followers before this will work?

[zanthor]

If this is successfully opening the NPC then ZQB combined with the technique for "right clicking" the NPC (Zoom to 1st person, right click) should take care of any needs you have... including flightpoint navigation as long as you have the same flightpoints discovered...

I've not toyed with this rightclick simulation yet... I need to!
